In the space defined by the cover 30 and the window 31, N 2 gas is sealed instead of air.
The pressure is somewhat higher than the atmospheric pressure around the transmission system B. Accordingly, gas does not enter the space inside the transmission system B from around the transmission system B, thereby preventing dust and dirt from entering the inside of the transmission system B. As the gas sealed in the space inside the transmission system B, other inert gas such as Ar gas and He gas can be used in addition to N 2 gas. Since the optical components 5, 7, and 8 of the transmission optical system are wrapped with such an inert gas, even if the optical components 5, 7, and 8 are irradiated with laser light, the optical components 5, 7, and 8 are radiated. Various optical thin films coated on are not deteriorated by chemical reaction,
Laser light can be efficiently transmitted to the exposure apparatus main body A.

On the other hand, the gas supply port 35 is connected to an inert gas supply device 38 via a gas introduction pipe 39, and N 2 gas from the device 38 is fed into the transmission system B via the gas supply port 35.

Although schematically shown in FIG. 3, the device 38
Is provided with an adjusting device for adjusting the temperature, humidity and pressure of N 2 gas.
The constant humidity, constant pressure N 2 gas is sent into the space inside the transmission system B. Therefore, the transmission optical system inside the transmission system B is always placed in a constant environment, and the optical characteristics of the transmission optical system are kept constant irrespective of fluctuations in the atmospheric pressure and temperature and humidity around the transmission system B. Will be maintained. Therefore, laser light in the same state (beam system, divergence angle, etc.) can always be supplied to the illumination optical system 6, and the performance of the exposure apparatus can be kept constant.

When a part of the laser light is scattered by the optical components 5, 7, and 8 of the transmission optical system, the scattered light irradiates the black alumite on the inner surface of the cover 30, and of it is likely to generate dust from the inner surface, where, N 2 gas through the filter 36 after being circulated in the transmission system B in the inner space from the gas outlet 37 N 2
Since gas is released, these dusts are removed from the filter 36.
Can be adsorbed and removed. Therefore, the space (atmosphere) inside the transmission system B is always kept clean, and the optical performance of the transmission optical system is not deteriorated.

In this embodiment, the transmission system B is fixed to the exposure apparatus main body A. Therefore, in the description so far, only the configuration for shielding the inside of the transmission system B from the atmosphere has been described. However, such a configuration can be adopted for the illumination optical system 6 of the main body A in addition to the transmission system B. The illumination optical system 6 receives the laser light from the transmission system B and enlarges the diameter (beam diameter) of the laser light toward the reticle 9, so that the laser light having a lower energy density than the transmission system B is transmitted. However, placing the system in an inert gas atmosphere away from the atmosphere is extremely effective in maintaining the performance of the illumination optical system 6.
